Kittredge" "One of the great privlidges of my life as an American
was to stand last summer on a ridge in the Lamar Valley and watch,
with hundreds of other people, a pack of wolves at play in the
grassy plain below. That their presence was the result of human
decisions and human love documented in this fine book only made
that view all the sweeter."--Bill McKibben, author of "Wandering
Home: A Long Walk Through America's Most Hopeful Region" "Smith's
wide-ranging research and Ferguson's skillful storytelling should
inspire us to believe in the possibility of healing the woulnds
that humankind has inflicted on the natural world."--Thomas
